Up to six hours of battery life is claimed.

The Toshiba Satellite Click 2 L30W laptop is similarly detachable, but slightly lowed specified. It has a 1366 x 768 HD IPS display, can be bought with up to a 4th generation Intel Core i3 processor and Intel HD graphics 4200 and a 500GB HDD in laptop mode. Up to 4GB of RAM can be added too.

DTS Sound audio is also included in this model, but this time tuned by Skullcandy. Battery life is better, however, being claimed to last up to eight hours.

Both portables come with the latest version of Windows 8.1.

Prices are yet to be revealed. They will be in UK stores in the third quarter this year.
